Her form is INCREDIBLE!!!!! As a dance acrobatics teacher, videos like this are so valuable because they show my students the CORRECT way to execute skills. Thanks so much for this!
As a coach of both boys and girls competitive gymnastics I am always interested in seeing how other coaches progressively teach required skills to their athletes no matter the age and level. I believe that coaches have to remember that every athlete is different and not all of the drills in videos posted by coaches will work for your athletes based on their skill set, strengths, weaknesses or understanding of the skill and how to preform it. I have used some of these drills and know that other well know coaches who have had great success with their athletes use some of these drills as well including Tammy Biggs. No offense intended to anyone, just a food for thought. Thanks for posting another approach to coaching. I look forward to future posts! :)
Megan first hand is on fx so fingers are pointing to side like in first hand on cartwheel...2nd hand is turned back so fingertips face the side the gymnast came from...This helps gymnast turn hips and square out on second side of cartwheel. Teach this hand placement in cartwheels to and it will help with the roundoff progression that comes next.
the issue ive found in the last 5 years is this turn over in the hands should be used for vault.not floor to creat sussessful 4s and 5s. im seeing in alot of hi hurdels witch is the first issue.2 it doesnt travel back well to create the power doing all 10 fingers in a line as well as long reach fast turn over feet closest to the hands and should be a snap down as you pass through h.s shape before lifting the chest up.in my perfessional opinnion kids wont progess if your not awaer of there feet and hands on all skills
The only thing that bothers me about this is she's not reaching out, she's reaching down for her feet. Other than that I'm going to try some of these on my gymnasts tomorrow.
+ConcreteAngelx3 agreed. seems like it would get boring quite quick, if you spent that long on a simple skill. I could see breaking down the harder skills...
The harder skills only get harder when solid fundamentals are lacking. Hollow and arch, forward and back rolls, lunges, cartwheels, round offs and handstands are the basics, and when they get short changed coaches just have to go back and spend time retraining struggling athletes later in their career because they never properly mastered the ABC's of gym.
ConcreteAngelx3 having a really good roundoff is really good for high-level tumbling. It's important to make it good as soon as possible because once you're a higher level and you've been doing roundoffs for a while, bad habits are super hard to break.
Interesting, and usually I like JAO's videos, but here I don't agree with many steps of that progression : - At 21s : what's the point of that exercise ? I don't understand what it is supposed to teach or to correct. That looks like a "part method" badly understood and badly used. - At 30s : the hurdle arms swing should be very fast and powerful, in order to give some extra energy and speed. - At 45s : what's the point asking the gymnast to freeze ? You never freeze a round off, on the contrary you need to get the maximum speed and energy to initiate your tumble pass ! - At 45 and after : that arms swing is way too high, it should be long, no high. Why is that mistake not corrected, when it's a fundamental requirement for the round off and there are a few good exercises to improve it and to bring it down ? - At 0:02 : again I think that this is badly understood and badly used "part method". Because there is a leg swing doesn't necessarily mean that you HAVE to invent an exercise to teach and develop it ! I used to teach tumbling for many years, including high level tumbling, and I never needed to do one single "needle" exercise with any athlete. - At 1:42 : the "T hands" position is a very outdated conception, and from a biomechanical point of view it is... completely wrong and impossible to justify ! In reality the two hands can't be exactly on the same line, the second hand should be a little bit sideways in order to let the shoulders rotate, and its fingers can't be completely pointed to the start point. - At 1:50 : I am not entirely convinced that this manipulation can make the gymnast understand anything constructive ! - At 2:17 : there are 2 very different ways to snap down at the end of the round off. The most common is snap down to push back, in order to initiate the black flip (or "back handspring" in the USA) : the gymnast should put her feet as close as possible to the hands, in order to be titled backwards and to bounce back. Instead, she is doing the complete opposite, she puts her feet far from hands so she is bouncing up, not back. Which could be good for a back salto, but not for a back flip (="back handspring" for US people). Again, this is fundamental, and nothing is said about it in that video. - At 2:48 : look at the position of the gymnast as the coach is holding her, and look how her front leg completely bent during her skip jump ("hurdle step" for US people). Doesn't that ring a bell...?
It was more of him trying to teach the proper positions and the right technique in order to be able to achieve the skill with great strength, skill, and coordination. It also just gives a certain stability to the skill so that the child does not have fear about any steps. And also the coach is able to correct her if she is making a mistake.

I love all your videos, but thank you so much for doing a floor skill rather than bar or vault. Very appreciated!

You guys have definitely the best progression videos on youtube!
exactly what we needed to see! I am snapping and somehow adding a twist in my arms and there are some great excercises to help me!

When he pulled her up I screamed 😁
Joshua🍃 LMAO
Nice things to know, thank you very much! Can't do proper roundoff for last two years %)
Amazing progression 👍
I´ve heard that "T" position is over that the system was changed. I´m quite confused whether to teach it or not. Could you help me?
JAO: Can you explain the "t" hands? What is the best positioning for the arms in a roundoff?
Her face when she lands!! Lol I am dying
Great video!!
I'm curious about what the roundoff over block to knees helps with though?
Landing on the knees help with the rounded upper back and clear hips.
Very good video!!
ja hei😱😱
she's really good
bastante buenos los demos....
mil felicitaciones.....
exitosss....
thank you , super video.
Bro I have a round off full but if I had your round off form I would have a double it’s amazing
the issue ive found in the last 5 years is this turn over in the hands should be used for vault.not floor to creat sussessful 4s and 5s. im seeing in alot of hi hurdels witch is the first issue.2 it doesnt travel back well to create the power doing all 10 fingers in a line as well as long reach fast turn over feet closest to the hands and should be a snap down as you pass through h.s shape before lifting the chest up.in my perfessional opinnion kids wont progess if your not awaer of there feet and hands on all skills
geniaaa hermosa me encanto el video muy bien explicado

Damn is it the only thing that you picked up as wrong here?
Wow that's a lot of work just for a simple round off
Ikr
ConcreteAngelx3 it's the work needed for a fundamental

I'm having trouble developing a good block :/
what is the red/ellow thing called. the round ish one
Millie phillips a hot dog !
That is good!!!
Do you teach c-shape ever?
Very useful
Dont go into holo after cartwheel
it is tough to see a little girl that is clearly stronger than me.
1:25 2:08
she needs to relax by lowering her shoulders but other wise she did great
Actually, you are supposed to grow tall
ok thanks for the advise
